Jim White & Trey Blake - The Long Road Home Lyrics

Jim White & Trey Blake Lyrics

"The Long Road Home"

Let me disbelieve revival. Let me disbelieve my faith
Let me disbelieve that preacher man
Baptized me in the river when I was just a kid
Let me disbelieve my eyes, my whole crooked way of seeing

Let me stand in the ring of fire, Lord
And just beg the flames to burn me
Lord, my prayer is to learn to disbelieve...
In the necessary pain of my purging

For on the long long long long long road home
There are some things that even love love love cannot convey
For on the long long long long long road home
There are some things that even love love love cannot convey

Let me thank them girls who broke my heart...
Thank you girls
Let me thank my friends who died young from drugs
Friends, you did not die in vain
Let me thank this willy-nilly wind, carry me to a stranger land
Crippling my dreams

For like words never meant to be spoken
Them dreams was wrong wrong wrong
Right from the start something was broken
Deep down inside of my heart
So surely was I in need of being free
Of the burden of them useless dreams

For on the long long long long long road home
There are some things that even love love love cannot convey
For on the long long long long long road home
There are some things that even love love love cannot convey
Cannot convey
Love

Oh silence, oh silence, bear witness to my story:
Unshackled from these chains
The bonds of foolish promises
Sweet blessings from above descend...
And reveal their secret purposes

There I throw away my bible
There I leave this little town
There I cast my fate upon yon wind!
Swing lo now, swing lo now, swing lo now
Now I know I know I know
I know I know I know where I am bound...
For I am bound bound bound for where the lost souls
Finally get found!

For on the long long long long long road home
There are some things that even love love love cannot convey
For on the long long long long long road home
There are some things that even love love love cannot convey

Love
Cannot convey
Love
Cannot convey
Love
Cannot convey
Love
Cannot convey
Love
Cannot convey
Love...
